Rename VM folder and files on datastore

We've converted a VM 2008 box into a template. The server was called NYSERV001 and we now want to call it 2008_Template. I've renamed the VM template in vSPhere Client and is fine, but when i browse the datastore it still shows as folder NYSERV001 and the files within all include the name NYSERV001. How do i change the name of the folder and files on the datastores to reflect the name change in the vSPhere Client to 2008_Template.

Actually the easiest way is to "Storage" vMotion them. I've put Storage between quotes as it is not really an Storage vMotion.

If you convert the template back to a VM and vMotion it. The vMotion wizard will ask you if you want to keep the files in the same Datastore. If you chose to migrate to other storage it will sync up the names on the Datastore with the name in the vCenter interface.

You can always move the template back the same way if you need the storage on the Datastore.
